Making Connections with Sewanee Parents

Being a Sewanee Parent is a wonderful experience. We hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to visit the campus often during the time your student is at Sewanee. It is a beautiful place, and it is an exciting place, with concerts, art openings, worship services, competitive athletic events, fall leaves, stunning views from the Perimeter Trail, one of the best college inns in the country, and a small but vibrant community.

Parents, too, can be involved. During your time as a Sewanee parent, you’ll build relationships with your student’s friends, with other parents, and with faculty and staff. Your volunteer involvement is also welcome, especially in the areas of Admission, Career Services and fund-raising.

The Sewanee Parents’ Council, an advisory group for the University, welcomes your input. We represent all Sewanee parents, and we welcome your comments and questions. We explore issues impacting students and families, and we provide parent feedback, so if you have observations about what Sewanee is doing particularly well, or if you see an opportunity for improvement, contact us. We want to hear your concerns and joys.
